Cesc Fabregas had this to say about his new coach at FC Barcelona. Pep Guardiola's tactical intelligence has been the key factor to produce the best club side ever.

"I have learned so much, especially at a tactical level,"
he explained.

"I position myself much better on the pitch.
"I was not very good tactically, I simply played wherever I wanted.

Now, I have to think tactically a lot more, for the benefit of the team.
"I also feel more mature as a player."

"Bought both of the books together and they are brilliant! It's great that you can now see how one of the greatest sides ever operate as a team.

The diagrams are easy to understand and from reading and studying the pictures it can give you your own ideas of how you would like your own side to play. Recommended if you want to broaden your football knowledge!"Adam Clark, United Kingdom

I played for several teams in the Greek professional leagues. At the age of 29 I stopped playing and focused on studying football coaching. I have been head coach of several semi-pro football teams and worked as a technical director in the Academies of DOXA Dramas (Greek football league, 2nd division).

I wrote and published two books "4-3-3 the application of the system" and "4-4-2 with diamond in midfield, the application of the system".

I decided to proceed in something more specific so coaches would have an idea of how top teams apply the same systems.
Analysing games tactically is a great love and strength of mine. I think teams only have success when they prepare well tactically.

I have watched Barcelona in most of their league and Champions league matches for the last seven years and less frequently over the past twenty years. I believe that this Barcelona side is by far the best Barcelona I have ever seen. Their attractive style of play and success in winning trophies has made them the best side in the world.

I have analysed Barcelona’s tactics for this book, which together with the teams’ incredible technical ability allows Barca to perform their attractive brand of football.
I watched every Barcelona game in the 2010-11 season creating a set of highly detailed notes on each. I watched many of the matches over 20 times. The matches were separated according to the opposing team’s formation.

These books are made up of over a 1000 hours of extensive tactical research and analysis of Guardiola’s Barcelona side.

Now available, this book set combo is an exclusive and groundbreaking study of Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona team.

We now have a full analysis of Barcelona’s tactics which have been so important to their success. The attacking and defending books show Barca’s 4-3-3 system of play, each player’s responsibilities, positioning and movement within every possible attacking and defensive phase of play.

This gives you an unbelievable chance to learn how Barcelona employ their tactics to maintain possession, create chances, score goals and adapt their tactics to combat any team they play.
